Hi Robin, This a wonderful resource Thank you for finding it. Benjamin Rush had a somewhat checkered history when examined in the light of current knowledge. He believed in blood letting and some harsh forms of mental health treatment Hope all is well with you. I'm returning to give a talk at Eastern TOP in June on the use of storytelling as a teaching device in psychology. Perhaps I'll see you there or maybe at LCCC if we can arrange a visit sometime.
